Leo Bottary is the founder and managing partner of Peernovation, LLC. He is a sought-after thought leader on peer advantage and Peernovation, emerging disciplines dedicated to strategically engaging peers to achieve personal and organizational excellence. A popular author, keynote speaker, and workshop facilitator, he also serves as an instructor for Rutgers University and as an opinion columnist and advisory board member for CEOWORLD Magazine. Leo’s first book, which he wrote with former Vistage CEO Leon Shapiro, The Power of Peers: How the Company You Keep Drives Leadership Growth & Success (2016), explored how and why formal peer groups for CEOs and business leaders are so effective. His second book, What Anyone Can Do: How Surrounding Yourself with the Right People Will Drive Change, Opportunity, and Personal Growth (2018), examined the power of enlisting and engaging the complete circle of the people who surround us in both formal and informal settings. Peernovation: What Peer Advisory Groups Can Teach Us About Building High-Performing Teams (2020) creates a new narrative to guide team building. In 2025, Leo released the Second Edition of Peernovation: Forged by CEO Forums. Perfected for Teams, and in early 2026, transformed Peernovation into an operating system for peer-sustained performance with the release of Peernovation 365. Prior to teaching at Rutgers, Leo was an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University, where he led graduate-level online and on-campus learning teams studying leadership and strategic communication. In April 2015, he was named adjunct teacher of the year for Seton Hall’s College of Communication and the Arts. Earlier in his career, Leo served in senior leadership positions at Mullen and Hill+Knowlton, where he was also director of client service for the US. In the mid-1990s, he founded a public relations agency that a leading trade publication hailed as a regional powerhouse, new media pioneer, and great place to work. Leo earned a BA from Jacksonville University and an MA in Strategic Communication and Leadership from Seton Hall University, and he completed his doctoral coursework at Northeastern University.
